Evening topwater bite on, and the slug-go did it!

Well, all goes to show that this lure is even BETTER than I thought.

We already know it is great for:

1. Letting it sink down and then twitching it up (slow)
2. Same as #1, only faster
3. casting it out and then twitching rapidly under the surface, especially in chopped water (spinner/crank alternative)

And now: 4. Twitching up high ON TOP of the water and letting it sink, then twitching it back on top, to get a topwater strike.

It may sound crazy to some of you, but it worked, and I was getting topwater hits and landed a couple.

To be fair, I tried the popper. Nothing. Tried the buzzbait. One possible strike, not sure what it was. Tried the shallow dive plug... a couple strikes, but lost them.


I was sight fishing (what a fun technique!) In the lilypads I could see fish splashing at bugs, and usually if you quickly get a slug-go over there, you'll get a strike.

One pickerel (meh! LOL) even came out of the water to strike my lure before I got it back.


My conclusion: if nothing else is working... try a slug-go, it's very versatile.
